i plugged the z wave stick in my odroid c2.
when i ran the command: ls /dev/ttyACM* i see output of: /dev/ttyACM0
in configuration.yaml, i added in
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
after rebooting, i dont see anything new or related to Zwave at http://192.168.1.233:8123/config/core
this page says i need to install requirements, but what or how? the page does not mention specifics
How are you running home assistant?
Hassio in docker, a venv install, or something else?
Have you gone to the integrations page and tried to add it that way?
Sidebar -> Configuration -> Integrations
Then zwave is at the bottom.
i am running home assistant via venv install.
i do see zwave at the bottom of integration page. but when i click on Configure, a circle spins and spins and never stop.
i see this guide being very thorough…https://jrowberg.io/2017/05/29/home-automation-guide-home-assistant-siri-alexa-z-wave-icloud/
unfortunately he stopped near the end where i need help the most on configuring the stick with HA. what a tease!
You probably need to wait for the zwave python module to install. It can take tens of minutes depending on the platform, since in most cases the entire zwave component needs to be compiled from scratch.
do i still need zwave: in my config?
or should i remove it and let HA automatically set up zwave from the integration page?
very interesting that HA takes forever to boot up with zwave: in my config yaml
is there a way to force it myself via command line?
over 1 hr and it is still spinning endlessly.
One hour is pretty excessive. You can pre-install the zwave module to see if there’s a problem there. You just need to enter your venv and run pip install -U homeassistant-pyozw and it should install version 0.1.4. If it’s already installed it means there is some other problem.
You can use the config file or the integration page, it’s up to your preference.
i ran these commands:
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
sudo apt-get install libopenzwave1.5-dev
sudo usermod -aG dialout odroid
afterwards, i use the integration page. zwave added and asked for USB location so i typed in: /dev/ttyACM0
rebooted several time. at least integration page shows Zwave now but i only see: This integration has no devices.
Did you add any devices?
so you are saying the usb zwave stick has been added successfully?
there is no option of me to add a zwave motion detection device anywhere in this page
If you go to the configuration main menu, is there a z-wave option now?
That is the zwave menu, and where you manage zwave.
ahhh, i see it now.
configuration/z-wave is now there!
all this time, i just assumed it was configuration/integration/z-wave
thank you!
I think that this may be true for some items, z-wave is a unique item, it requires a bit more setup and management options. When the integrations were established, the z-wave menu was well established and works quite well so I’m sure there was not incentive to port things over.
